The Legs

Famous quotes containing the word legs:

    your antlers like seaweed,
    your face like a wolf’s death mask,
    your mouth a virgin, your nose a nipple,
    your legs muscled up like knitting balls,
    your neck mournful as an axe....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    set forth three children under the moon,
    three cherubs drawn by Michelangelo,
    done this with her legs spread out
    in the terrible months in the chapel.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
